Agree with everyone about this series-so fascinating. Gosh, I’d say once the series is done, just start over with five different patterns from the decades. I had to laugh when Haley suggested adding a bar tack on her sample (at the end of the open seams). As Seamwork radio fan, I know how she feels about doing bar tacks!
I love thos series! I am so surprised to like many of these details. Iit is not lost on me that I lean 50s, 70s, 90s... I especially like the raglan sleeve that appears to be buttoned on. My heart is rooted in the 90s with overized safety pins 😄 I have no shame.
I grew up in the sixties and I remember my mom sewing garments similar to the ones in the video!! Made me smile!! Is there a video on how you store your patterns. I love the neat look of your system and I am sure that it makes it easier to find what you are looking for. Love your channel - I just discovered it. Thank you so much!!!
Loved this video as I learned to sew in the 60s! Girls weren’t allowed to wear pants to school so we sewed a lot of dresses and jumpers (American jumpers-sleeveless dresses worn over blouses or other tops). These styles feel familiar and I like your suggestions for incorporating some of the details. -Addie
I'm wondering how these could be showcased on knit fabrics? So many vintage patterns are meant for wovens of some firmness. In our current lives, with activities that are more suited to stretch fabrics, it is a challenge to find details that work. Buttons can be too heavy, seams are not as much of a fit, straight line (if that is a clear thought). Related to that: vintage jewelry like costume brooches don't work on our one-layer, thin knits. I love the idea of all these details, so any suggestions would be cool.
I disagree with this. If anything else, today’s lifestyle is more sedentary than ever before. People in the past went dancing, rode their bikes and lived their lives just fine in woven fabrics. The past decade or two just had shifted focus to knits so much that a lot of people don’t know how or are intimidated by sewing woven. There is no reason woven garment cannot be perfectly suited to modern lifestyles.
I think you could definitely incorporate some of these details into a knit garment. I would look for patterns calling for a more stable knit, like a ponte. That would provide more structure for adding buttons and other embellishments.

I loved the Vogue pattern with the slits. ❤
I love this series! Thank you!

Thanks for watching! We haven't made a video on storing patterns yet, but I'll add it to the list!

Thanks for sharing!!
This is fantastic! I hope you're going to do a 70s sewing inspiration video next 🙏
Great idea!!

The built-in shaped belt might be a good way for me to subtly break up my freakishly long torso.
Belts are great for that!
